Airline Seat Pitch guide for First class, Business class, Premium Economy and Economy class seats.

http://www.airlinequality.com/Product/seats_global.htm lists carriers worldwide.
http://www.airlinequality.com/Product/seat_intro.htm breaks them out by region.

Those low-cost airlines, like Air Asia (29"), easyJet (29"), and Ryanair (30") really cram 'em in. Most US carriers seem to have at least a 31" seat pitch.

Seat distance isn't everything, of course, but that's what the passenger submitted ratings for airlines and airports are for.

This is real interesting! The real info everyone is curious about is the seat widths, though.

I read their reason not for giving that data. I wonder if the airlines aren't reporting width in a consistent manner as some sort of sinister coverup. ;)

I'm oddly proud that Singapore Air got a top rating.

I would have been shocked if they had not.

I *am* a bit surprised Emirates didn't get five stars, however.

Also seatguru.com.

That was going to be my suggestion, and not just because they run on boxes I'm responsible for...

Cool! Thanks for the pointer.

It would be good if they expanded the number of airlines they cover, though.
